The band A Kettle Prime (fondly known as AKP) formed in the summer of 2007 and in a short period of time has had a major impact on the local Maui Music Scene with its truly diverse and original sound. Combining elements of rock, funk, jazz and blues A Kettle Prime transcends the pop mainstream and normal island reggae feel to invigorate their crowd with crafty compositions and lingering note play. Whether psychedelic or trance, soaring melodies or in full momentum it is obvious that A Kettle Prime is rising.
The band cloaks metaphorically driven lyrics that reach into our daily lives with a thunderous assault; delicately balancing between subtle and melodic to furious and chaotic. This produces the sound where the band truly thrives. A sound that is saturated with honesty and dripping with irony. Whether the band is playing a haunting or melodic version of the same song, they have evolved, and in turn the audience has evolved with them. “Both musically and lyrically we are always reaching inside for more, leaving everything out so that everyone else can peek in.” Discussing anything from our subconscious vs. conscious thought to current political or social issues, A Kettle Prime has arrived with a fresh sound that is bold, fearless, and about time.
When asked, what genre of music AKP falls under, and what they sound like, Lake McLain’s response at the time was, “It sounds like the deep dark underbelly of your subconscious.”
A Kettle Prime is out and by the sound of it; A Kettle Prime is going just about anywhere they want to.
